For those curious about my difficult to light Fridge - after finally getting it going Thursday night (after running it on 12V for a while - this seemed to do the trick when nothing else would), it ran flawlessly all weekend, for 300+ kms of rough roads, including 4 times across small creeks, and plenty of other excitement that had my wife clutching the holy sh*t handles frantically. An internal temp gauge showed an average of about 5C all weekend, rising to ~8C when outside temps were ~30C, and falling to -4C (!) overnight when temps were down to ~12C. I do plan on pulling it again to check the hard lighting problem, but that will have to wait for now...
